Supply, optics and FTTx for fibre and fixed-wireless rollout
DTC keeps networks supplied, supported and sustainable across their whole life. For almost 30 years we’ve sourced and supplied refurbished and new telecoms hardware, recovered value from surplus, and kept kit running – backed by one of the largest independent secondary markets in the industry.
For ISPs and WISPs, rollout cost and lead times decide everything. We supply the routers and infrastructure, GPON fibre access, optical transceivers and FTTx street cabinets to build fibre and fixed-wireless networks affordably – new or refurbished – and buy back the kit you replace.
Routers, optics GPON and cabinets for ISPs/WISPs
We hold routers, optics, GPON and cabinets in stock. We can provide same-day dispatch where stock is available, with thousands more parts available in days or weeks through our broker network.
- OLTs, ONTs and line cards – access kit for FTTP and FTTC, not just the core
- Multi-vendor – Nokia, Huawei, Calix, Adtran and more from one source
- Cabinet spares – PSUs, fans and cards to keep street cabinets running
Fully tested and inspected refurbished kit
Every refurbished router, transceiver and access unit is tested, inspected and warrantied before it ships – so you get the performance of new at a fraction of the cost, often up to 90% less than the OEM list price. For ISPs and WISPs watching every £ of capex, it’s how you build a bigger, more robust network for the same budget.
- Warranty as standard – cover on every unit, not an optional extra
- Advance replacement – a swap unit on its way before the faulty one is back
- Like-for-like or an upgrade – match what you run, or step capacity up
Fulfillment and warehousing
We hold your CPE, spares, and our buffer stock in secure facilities, ready to despatch to your depots or engineers the moment a rollout or repair demands it, so you keep less capital tied up in stock without slowing deployment or restoration times. Lower holding costs, faster truck rolls, and full visibility of every unit in store.
- Despatch that keeps engineers moving – defined SLAs and same-day despatch on critical spares
- Real-time stock visibility – accurate counts and full audit trail, integrated with your provisioning and inventory systems
- Secure and insured – kit held in access-controlled facilities, covered while in our care
Small, national and regional operators
Operators running a complete network at small scale face the same supply demands as a larger one. We handle sourcing, stockholding, and logistics on your behalf, so you hold less and wait less.
- Spares held ready – your kit stored and despatched on demand, so faults and rollouts don’t wait on parts
- Shipping to remote and island networks – onward freight and customs handled to wherever you operate
- A single supply chain – sourcing, stock, and logistics through one partner rather than several

Equipment and support for ISP and WISP networks
Full-fibre altnet, fixed-wireless provider or community network – the economics are the same: build and run more network for less, without having to wait for long lead times from the OEM. DTC supplies the kit and the engineering to do it.
What we supply to ISPs and WISPs
- OLTs, ONTs and the GPON access set for FTTH and FTTP builds
- Routers, switches and aggregation for the core and edge
- Fixed-wireless and backhaul radios for rural and hard-to-reach coverage
- Optical transceivers – OEM-compatible SFP and QSFP at a fraction of OEM cost
- Street cabinets, and the PSUs, fans and cards that keep them running
Fibre access: GPON, OLTs and ONTs
Full-fibre rollout runs on GPON. We supply OLTs, ONTs and the wider FTTH GPON product set, new and refurbished, so you can light premises affordably and scale subscribers without over-spending on access hardware.
Fixed wireless and WISPs
For wireless ISPs we supply routing, backhaul and wireless equipment to extend coverage into areas fibre can’t reach economically – the kit behind smarter broadband for rural and underserved communities.
The platforms we supply
Multi-vendor by design, we supply across the major routing, access and wireless platforms – Cisco, Juniper, Nokia and more – so you can standardise or mix without being tied to one manufacturer’s catalogue or pricing.
Refurbished and total cost of ownership
The upfront saving on refurbished is obvious; the bigger one is total cost of ownership. Extended asset life, no lead-time delays, and recovered value when you upgrade. Across a rollout of thousands of units, that compounds fast.
Built for altnet economics
The altnet market is consolidating and funding is harder to come by than it was. Build costs have to come down without slowing the rollout. Refurbished access and core kit, supplied from stock rather than an OEM backlog, lets a full-fibre or fixed-wireless provider pass more premises for the same capital, and keep spares on the shelf so a fault never strands a customer.
Sustainable networks
Every reused router or OLT avoids the embodied carbon of building a new one, and we buy back and recycle the kit you replace to zero-to-landfill standards. For a community or rural network that is both a lower bill and a cleaner footprint to show the people you serve.
Compliance and accreditation
BSI ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001, with WEEE-compliant recycling and certificated data destruction on any data-bearing kit.
Types of ISP/network operators we serve
